If you value your time and money DO NOT join this course!!
Its an utter waste of your hard earned money, this course is run by incompetent, useless people. Do you think you can learn these skills in 6 months ? Its better to study for free from coursera, save your money. I would give this course 1 out of 5.

Cons:
1. Unorganized curriculum
2. Incompetent management
3. No study materials provided
4. No mentorship for projects
5. No placements provided (Not a single batch has been 50 % placed )
6. No internship provided
7 . All courses are introductory
8 . Very rushed curriculum
9. It is outsourced to NeuralTechSoft, so the network of SPJAIN is not used
10. The management does not take responsibilty
11. The selection process for this course is unproctored
12. They literally accept all the applicants
13. Huge batch size
14. For such an IT intensive course they select people that barely have any IT experience
15. Very small campus
16. No networking opportunites provided
17. The faculty makes an idiot out of the student
18. Some of the faculty are very awful teachers
19. The term exams count for nothing, they literally repeat the questions aked to previous batches, not a word changed. Or they will C&P from google.
20. You will learn more from coursera, udemy, edx in much lesser resources
21. ITS AN UTTER WASTE OF YOUR MONEY AND TIME!!! SAVE YOURSELF THE PAIN OF 6 MONTHS AND NEARLY 15 LAKHS RUPEES, JOIN SOMEOTHER COURSE LIKE IIMB, ISI
22. They run 3 batches in an year, CHURNING STUDENTS OUT LIKE A FACTORY, AND PROVIDING NOTHING THAT THEY PROMISE. FORGET THE PLACEMENTS< YOU WILL NOT EVEN GET THE SATISFACTION OF STUDYING SOMETHING SOLID HERE.
23. YOU WILL JUMP FROM ONE DIVERSE TOPIC TO ANOTHER IN MERE 5 DAYS AND YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING.
24. NO REVISION CLASSES ARE ARRANGED.
25. THEY GET PEOPLE TO APPLY TO THIS COURSE BY LYING ABOUT PLACEMENTS AND FACULTY.
26. ITS NOT JUST THIS COURSE, ALL THE COURSES OF SPJAIN ARE SIMILAR.
